Formula Overview
$40.00/0.16 oz. - $250.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to "last all day long" that "reacts to skin's moisture level" and its pH to deliver a "customized color." The texture is described as "ultra-fine" and "lightweight" so that it blends well and feels weightless. It was also described as being buildable, and it had semi-sheer to medium, somewhat buildable coverage.
If you can dislodge the powder away from the surface, it's a decent blush; it seemed kind of flat and was more apt to emphasize skin texture/dryness compared to other blush formulas. Some shades blended out better than others, but the texture of all the blushes I tried in the range was incredibly firm, stiff, and prone to developing hard-pan within a handful of uses. I felt like I was constantly using a paper towel to break up that top surface to get product to apply and to swatch.
The "customized color" it gave me often was in the form of making the application seem patchier over time, which was more noticeable with medium and deeper colors against my skin tone. (Naturally, the closer your skin tone is to the blush color, the less apparent some patchiness will be.)
On my skin, they lasted around seven hours on me, so a little below average, but about half the shades turned patchier and seemed to "sink" into my pores over time.
From a texture standpoint, these are some of the worst high-end blushes I've come across. Usually, the textures at this price point are incredibly silky, smooth, and blendable, but wow, what a total miss.

Sadly, I’ve only heard that this shade and Rosewood are in any way “decent enough”. But, still no one is calling any of these in this particular formula “stellar” “wonderful”, etc. Good thing that I have Nars Fetishized and Exhibit A that I could probably mix together on a stippling brush and get this color, I’m thinking.
D rating, glad I waited before buying. Too bad but I dislike really hard packed blush. Thanks! I just removed this blush from my shopping cart.
D for disappointing. D for dreadful. D for depressing. D for “Dior, you can do so much better”.
Good for you, Christine, for smiling in the photos with these terrible Dior products! I’d probably be scowling bc I’d have a hard time hiding how angry I am that they’ve ruined many of my favorite products, this blush formula included, with their ridiculous reformulations.
Ugh. I wish I had waited for your review before I purchased it. The original formula was so good but it seems they’ve ruined it in the reformulation. I almost want to take the two shades I bought back rather than try them out. This launch by all accounts seems to be a fail.
I am Mrs Coral blush, but if this is dry and stiff it is a no go. These type of texture never apply good on my skin (I guess anyone but…).
What a shame!!! I’ve seen some beautiful colors with this product, this one is lovely, but performance, ahhhh!
